Looking into it, Gravano said that the books were reopened in 1975 but never claimed (at least in the book) that he was made that year. He says that "There was a long waiting list of associates, and each Family was initially alloted ten new members....The following year [1976] the Families were permitted to replace made members who had been lost through attrition. For the next group, later the same year [1976] Toddo Aurello proposed Sammy."

///Although a little fuzzy, I believe Gravano to be saying that the first group of guys that were made, was in 1976. The second group of guys that were made, was in late 1976. Gravano was part of this second group. So, to Gravano´s credit, him saying that he was made in 1975, most likely is a misunderstanding from our part. His recollection of guys being made in 1976, and in late 1976, seems to be correct. So it´s only Michael Franzese´s claim of being made in 1975 that I have a problem with.

Interesting enough, if you take a look in the Tony Mirra files, it says that Mirra was made with his uncle very late December 1976 by Galante. Both Mirra and his uncle seems to be in the first class of Bonanno guys being made. Later in 1977, guys like Coppa, Lino, D´Amico, Massino etc followed in the second Bonanno group. My point is that no one seems to have been made in 1975, but later.
